Colts' Frank Reich to bring big changes to offense

Without their star quarterback in Andrew Luck, the Indianapolis Colts offense was a bland unit in 2017 as they struggled to move the ball and score with consistency.

As Frank Reich takes over as head coach, though, fresh off of his Super Bowl victory in which his Philadelphia Eagles offense scored 41 points, the Colts should be expecting some big changes to the offensive unit.

“We will be a multiple-attack up-tempo offense. We will be aggressive. We’ll change things up,” Reich said at his presser Tuesday. “What I mean by multiple is we’ll use multiple personnel groups, multiple formations to be able to run the same plays over and over again, to disguise it so that teams don’t know what we’re doing.”

The entire Colts offense struggled in 2017 but they rarely changed up the looks. Granted, Jacoby Brissett was still working his way through the playbook halfway through the season, which certainly hinders the packages the Colts could use.

Still, the Colts should be expected to put several different looks into the offense, especially with one that will be featuring an up-tempo pace, which wasn’t something that was used often last season.

“We’ll keep them off balance with run and pass,” said Reich. “We’ll change up the tempo. There will be a strong element of no-huddle offense to the Colts offense.”

The Colts offensive unit was among the worst in the NFL last season without Luck. They are optimistic they will have him return in 2018, leading a unit that should see some major changes.
